Our room had comfortable beds and was an easy walk into Katherine shopping centre with some good coffee shops. Unfortunately our room’s windows were fixed so could not be opened for ventilation. Staff were helpful and friendly.
Toilet was not clean, water run down from hand basin to the pipe made so much noise which to me sound like there was a collecting tray below, the bathroom door needs to be lubricated also the gate to the rooms made so much noise as our room was near it.
Paraway Motel was well-situated. Our room was clean, spacious and had everything that we needed. The staff were friendly & helpful. We loved our stay and would recommend the motel.
Room was dated, but clean and comfortable for what we required. Parking was awkward but secure. Person at check-in was not welcoming and not helpful when we requested a map or directions to assist us finding our way around town.
Owner was friendly and very help full on checkin. Not a 5 star accomodation and it doesn’t advertise as one. But it is a really good 3 star. Clean, comfortable, good internet, plenary of tea and coffee, and a good air conditioner. What else do you need?
Would stay here again for sure.
Friendly reception service, smart tv in room so can log into streaming services, comfortable bed. Door mats would be helpful to catch dirt and mud coming into room. Good location

The staff here are lovely and were happy to help us with our every need. The rooms are also quite large, which makes things more comfortable.
The downside is that depending on where you are located, you may not sleep very well due to the constant noise. The stairs outside our room were super loud with people banging up and down them in the early hours if the morning, and drunk people talking loudly. We were in room 2 which was bad; if you get a choice ask for a room on the top floor away from stairs.
